If it has been 4 years, I think it should be clear with water damage issues.

Where was the car when the damage happened? What state? I presume no records of it.

If there are any weird errors, PIWIS during PPI will tell.


And I completely understand you.
I got myself a Boxster that is taking a lot of my time to address many little things that are annoying, but do not stop the car from being operational.

I did PPI myself along with Durametric rental.
All was OK.

But then there are small things and large things - I had to repaint the car, did all the suspension, tracing electrical gremlins with radio (double DIN)... but the car was cheap with decent bones.
I think there were 7 owners before me.
It has 110k miles. And drives just fine.

IMS? Well, either it is done or, hopefully, will not fail anymore since it has not yet.


Good luck.

As for Trabant.
Old times across the Pond.
One of my favourite cars. It was the Polo version, from 1991. It was a beast (for the size of car and the times).

Water damage was in Hawaii. Then the car came direct to CA.

Thanks for your thoughts. Pulled the trigger on the PPI today, which will happen Thursday.

I am curious to see how it went.
